I dont use a lot of loose eyeshadow. Own NO MAC pigments, and only a few Bare Essentials products. That said , i have heard AWESOME things about Fyrinnae’s eyeshadows, and the colors look gorgeous. I really want to try them. ANd I’m also curious to try Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics loose eyeshadows….

Bare Minerals e/s and Fyrinnae. Great color ranges and lots of different finishes, not like other loose eye shadows that mostly come in only shimmers. Not a fan of MAC pigments– on top of some not even being eye save, there are many that are really difficult to work with because of their texture.

I love Becca, because it has zero fall out. I can wear it on unprimed lids and still have a fantastic colour payoff, and that is saying a lot for loose shadow. I also love Scott Barnes Eye Ice, I bought them up whilst I still could, too bad the line is RIP.

I love MAC pigments because I’m a MAC fanatic anyway, but Barry M dazzle and glitter dusts are amazing- about a third of the size (and third of the cost) of MAC pigments and they come in so many different colours.

To me the best loose eye shadow is made by Everyday Minerals. Their colors are gorgeous and last! I recently got a beautiful mint green shade, a bunch of shimmery beiges and browns, and a lovely Christmas palette of silver, gold, and white (which I still use now.) The best part is that the colors are very affordable and they usually throw in something for free when you order.

Fyrinnae, for beautiful afforable colours, fantastic customer service, affordable shipping (free over $20!) and best of all, they sell a bit of magic in a bottle that can turn any eyeshadow (even the cruddy sheer drugstore brands) into something wonderful, Pixie Epoxy! <3<3<3

I had lots of MAC samples and they aren’t teh greatest, not my taste. However, I was able to find some excellent Mineral makeup loose eyeshadow online companies: AROMALEIGH and FYRINNAE
I got their loose shadows and I really love them and most of them are a dream to blend… i just kept buying from them again and again.

Fyrinnae, Sassy Minerals, and Aromaleigh all make amazing loose eyeshadows. Ryrinnae makes amazing, unique colours (seriously, check out the colour shifting Arcane Magics), Sassy has gorgeous colours and dirt cheap samples (75 cents for a very generous sample in a pot), and Aromaleigh has a wide range – wearable neutrals, sparkley, matte and BRIGHT. They all have great customer service as well.

Skip repackagers like Lime Crime, and the various resellers on etsy, get the same colours for MUCH less on TKB Trading. Or go to Fyrinnae, Sassy or Aromaleigh and spend less for a unique product.
